PST stands for Paiste Sound Technology. This is Paiste's promise to deliver quality to cymbals at an affordable price. The PST 5s are Paiste’s entry level cymbal, which introduces you to that great Paiste sound without putting you in the poor house.

With modern musical trends in mind, Paiste re-designed these cymbals to give them a deeper, warmer sound. By thinning these cymbals out a bit, Paiste was able to improve their tonality while still preserving their bright character. These new thinner models also help take the stress off of your wrists, creating less fatigue over longer periods of play.

The PST 5 splash has a breathy, airy sound that is perfect for quick accents. This cymbal gives you an affordable way to begin experimenting with your sound. Many highly revered players such as Stewart Copeland, George Robello, and more have used the splashes to enhance their musical vocabulary. Now you can get your hands on a Paiste splash at a reasonable price!
